The Elise is a fantastic car, but it is a toy. In parking lots you have no power steering to assist you in turning, even though it still is not that bad. I am 6'3" and 250 lbs and I am too big for them, it also takes some getting used to getting in and out of them. They do average 30 mpg and make you feel like a hero when you drive them tho. You cannot buy sticky enough tires for them either.
The turbo will be easier to get in and out of and the boost is real fun, but just as fun as hitting the second cam in the lotus. Ive driven both and I like how fun the lotus is, but if your planning long trips I suggest the 951. The lotus has no sound deadening, you feel every bump through your rear end and the steering wheel, but its also part of the experience.

Congrats on the purchase 
I'd have chosen the 951 too... but I am biased!
Now... even though it looks like every other white-on-cashmere 944 Turbo out there... I still think you need to post up some pics!

Congratulations I like the two tone interior. Someone on here sells stainless steel visor clips...you'll see what I mean!
PS I'll cut you some slack since it has Koni's with low miles you don't need to do that but double adjustable are an option now and you can add a chip and that's it right!
